"DoesHornTriggerBell" setting for Shasta engines

[huha435]

Ok , I just tried this with a gp9 and sd 60 . I removed this line and got no bell with the horn , readded the line horn works with the bell , that line can be added to an .eng file It goes between here . DieselEngineIdleRPM( 270 )
DieselEngineMaxRPM( 835 )
DieselEngineSpeedOfMaxTractiveEffort( 12mph )
DieselEngineMaxRPMChangeRate( 25 )

DoesHornTriggerBell( 1 )

EmergencyStopMonitor(
MonitoringDeviceMonitorTimeLimit( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceAlarmTimeLimit( 0 )
MonitoringDevicePenaltyTimeLimit( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceCriticalLevel( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceResetLevel( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceAppliesFullBrake( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceAppliesEmergencyBrake( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceAppliesCutsPower( 0 )
MonitoringDeviceAppliesShutsDownEngine( 0 )

Not quite sure what you're saying. Unfortunately none of the Shasta engines have the 2 sections in the eng file that you noted.

When you say "attribute", I'm assuming you mean the line "DoesHornTriggerBell". Where do I insert it in the eng file?

I don't think it matters but yes you should add this parameter and attribute --> DoesHornTriggerBell(1)

Thanks. So where do I insert it? Where abouts in the eng file?

Hi Curt,
You need to put DoesHornTriggerBell( 1 ) into the Engine section of the .eng file.

Cheers,

????????????? I told you where to find the answer to that question in post #9.

Well, i'm all about getting close to the real life as possible. So as i understand, this is intentional. Post no. 3

Have a good day. I am spending mine on Shasta route 🏔⛰

Yeah, I'm either on everyone's ignore list so they don't see my responses at all anymore, or it wasn't the answer they wanted...

Original MSTS spoiled everyone with the automatic bell ring with the horn blow...

Paul that's the usual eng file setup but I think you'll find that TrainSimulations have gone for a different arrangement for their Shasta loco eng files.

Thanks for (hopefully) explaining this so other's get it. This is what I've been saying over and over...

Curt, I think your down to making a copy of your engine file, storing it somewhere. Placing the "DoesHornTriggerBell( 1 )" somewhere in your engine file and taking the unit out for a test drive to see if it still works and to see if the horn triggers the bell. If it doesn't work, change the location of the line, you still have the backup copy of the file if you can't get it to work and have to go back to it.

does horn trigger bell is there it should under cabview in your .eng file keep scrolling down and you should see it. but if its not there. it will be something like this. cabview ( es44.cvf ) doeshorntriggerbell ( 0 ) change that zero to 1 Jdark34

Again, as niknak pointed out, TS has re-configured the eng file. There is no DoesHornTriggerBell line. Here is a portion of the new eng file:

put it doestraintriggerbell under cabview or under headout
